Illegal Immigration in France
As many as one million illegal immigrants from Western Africa move into Europe each year. Many come to France for the many benefits, including not having to be legal to take part in the education and health systems. This was caused by the terrible living conditions in Western Africa, but it has resulted in a drainage of the education system between illegal immigrants and French citizens.
Reunification in Germany
Problems between East and West Germany have persisted even after the destruction of the Berlin Wall. Living standards are much higher in the West, and the East is not very modernized. This was a result of the Berlin Wall being built by eastern communists preventing people from fleeing to the democratic West early in the Cold War. This has resulted in a negative attitude against the opposite side in Germany.
Poverty vs. Wealth in Belgium
There is a higher standard of living in Belgium with the country ranking high in per capita income. However, there is a wage gap in the country caused by a lack of programs regulating wealth distribution. This has resulted in a large disparity between the very rich and the very poor.
